The Heil Co. is recalling approximately 1,360 of its 2018-2020 front end loader garbage trucks due to a defect that could cause fires. Excessive vibrations in these vehicles can cause the front head hydraulic tubes to leak fluid. Heil will install stabilizing clamps, new hydraulic tubes, and update the vehicle's software free of charge to resolve the issue.
If hydraulic fluid leaks near an ignition source, such as the hot engine or exhaust components, it can cause a fire. This poses a significant safety risk to vehicle operators and anyone nearby.
Install hardware and software updates to prevent hydraulic leaks.
Recall affects approximately 1,360 units.
